Birmingham gig for The South
When great British pop institution The Beautiful South split in 2007, most members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet.
So they reformed as The South, and feature former members of The Beautiful South including vocalists Alison Wheeler and sax player Gaz Birtles.
And they are back on tour this autumn, including playing a date at Birmingham's Hare & Hounds in King's Heath on October 5.
They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine-piece live band - as well as throwing in some new material, too.
Rejuvenated, The South are keeping alive all those timeless songs - the No1 single A Little Time, Perfect 10, Rotterdam, Old Red Eyes Is Back, Good as Gold, Don't Marry Her plus many more singles and album tracks.
All performed again live, these songs span an impressive 20-year career starting way back in 1989.
Modern incarnation The South are Wheeler and Birtles on vocals, Phil Barton on guitars, bassist Steve Nutter, Dave Anderson on the drums, percussionist Karl Brown, trumpets by Gareth John and saxophone from Su Robinson, and Andy Price on keys.
The Hare & Hounds gig is on October 5, with doors opening at 7pm. Tickets are available by calling the box office on 0121 444 2081 or by clicking here.
